Les was known for that. I heard a story of him doing a signing and these two guys came and one had a Gibson Les Paul for him to sign. He turns to the other guy there and he said he…

Legit question: What can an ISP collect when most of the time I'm going to secure "https:" websites? I mean, they can only see the website I'm going to, but not what is going on th…

I don't have the app, but from what I can tell, using a VPN doesn't help either. I guess when you downloaded it from the U.S. Android/Apple app stores, it flags you somehow, so a V…

Spoiler alert: It's not the worst song of all time. There is no one single "worst song", just as there's no one single "best song". It may be one of the worst, sure. But when doing…

I don't know. I still have gigs every weekend. It's still a major part of my income. I fill-in a lot for other people too. Guitar, Bass, Percussion. Can I survive only on weekend g…

They'll always come back with "Just use GIMP. It's as powerful as Photoshop." Yeah, maybe Photoshop in 1999.

Every Mac I've used for the past 5 years haven't been expensive. I switched away from Windows 5 years ago, and not looking back. Heck, some of the video cards for Windows costs mor…

I mean...where they gonna stop?

And we just saw him in the last few months in a bunch of podcasts talking about the anniversary of In Utero. Sad news.

Yeah, I never understood this whole "you're locked in, you can't get out of their ecosystem." This has always been BS. I've switched from Apple to PC to Linux back to PC to Apple b…

I remember when this first dropped and I was like "this will never catch on. The Internet is using telnet to log into different systems....and FTP...and Usenet...and gopher...and I…

That's what I use on my TVs, and the TVs themselves never have access to the internet. The only ads I see on AppleTV are from whatever service I'm using...if I paid for an ad-suppo…

I will never buy a device with Roku on it again. And even when I did, I used it as a dumb monitor which had no access to the Internet. Now I have an LG OLED TV and even that has no…

Same for Homebrew. I just updated it and yes, there was an update for ffmpeg, but it only updated it to 6.1.1_7

It could be the location, for sure. My experiences have been around the Chicago area. Blues jams though were all very welcoming, as were folk and just rock&roll. But jazz was just …

I like some of it, but I agree with you on most of jazz. Kind of Blue is great though. It really is something special. But as I say, I agree with you on most other Jazz though. And…

Man, I really miss Byte. Subscribed to it for years. Loved that it covered a wide variety of topics.

Pretty cool...but I could barely get through the class just from writing with a pencil. I can't imagine trying to take notes AND remember formatting notation and making sure you ge…

I played this on the Amiga when the game first came out. Loved it.

I'm the opposite, while I don't trust any company, there are levels of trust I give. I trust Apple over a 3rd party. I remember when LastPass was touted by everyone as safe and sec…

I do all the time, everyday. Is it an automatic paste? No. But then again, I don't want that on other computers.

In the future, everyone will come out with an A.I. Chatbot for 15 minutes.

I 100% switched from 3rd party password managers to keychain and never looked back. It does everything natively, including 2-factor auth.

I've done questionable things in my life. I am a sinner who does not expect forgiveness. But at least I never got into cryptocurrencies.

I started using BBSs in the 80s. Starting on 300 baud modem connections and then upwards. It was such a cool feeling like you were living in the future...all with that extremely sl…
